Abstract

Inverted papilloma of the nose is an uncommon, but, well document ed lesion of the mucosal lining of the nose and paranasal sinuses. The manifestation of this disease are usually unilateral nasal obstruction, mucopurulent nasal discharge, anosinia and occasional headache. It is very rare to she this condition presenting with dyspnoea and dysphagia due to its extension in the laryngopharynx. In this paper, we report a patient who presented to us with dyspnoea and dysphagia due to a huge papillomatous mass extending from right nasal cabity to the maxillary antrum laterally, posteriorly into the nasopharynx, interiorly into the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx.
